WINTER SQUASH AND POTATO GRATIN
This savory casserole is an almost classic gratin dauphinois (potatoes au gratin), with squash standing in for half of the potatoes and low-fat milk substituting for cream. It is a very comforting dish that can be baked ahead and reheated.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub the inside of a 2-quart gratin dish or baking dish with the cut side of the garlic, and lightly oil with olive oil or butter. Slice any garlic that remains and toss with the potatoes, squash, thyme, rosemary, half the cheese and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer in the gratin dish.
- Pour the milk over the potatoes and squash, and press the vegetables down into the milk. Place in the oven, and bake one hour. Every 20 minutes, remove the gratin dish and press the potatoes and squash down into the liquid with the back of a large spoon. After one hour, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the sides crusty. Remove from the oven, and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot or warm.

POTATO RöSTI (OR BEET OR CARROT OR WINTER SQUASH)
This is a delicious and simple potato cake that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. This recipe was found in Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. Edit: I've added a step to resolve the problem of the potatoes turning brown after being grated.

CARROT, SQUASH AND POTATO RAGOUT WITH THAI FLAVORS
This is inspired by a recipe in Patricia Wells's "Vegetable Harvest." The flavors are both sweet and pungent. Serve it on its own or over rice; Thai purple sticky rice looks particularly pretty against the orange vegetables but any type of rice will do. I'm very happy serving this over brown rice.

POTATOES RöSTI
Potatoes Rösti or hash browns done well are potatoes perfected. I learned this from my husband's mother in Hungary, but you'll find similar versions that are the pride of many a mother and a young bride in homes all over Central Europe. In our home, few things raise bigger enthusiasm than the smell of rösti cooking when András walks through the door.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6.
- Cut the potatoes into thin matchsticks using a julienne attachment on a mandoline or food processor. Or, cut into thin rounds and use a sharp knife to cut the rounds into strips {more time consuming, but it works!}
- Heat the butter and olive oil in an 8-in/20-cm ovenproof cast-iron or non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. Add the rosemary to the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft and a few pieces are brown. At this point, the potatoes should have settled into a round flat pancake.
- Transfer the potatoes in the skillet to the hot oven to bake until the top and bottom are golden and crispy and the center is soft but cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide out of the pan onto paper towels/absorbent papers. Slide onto a baking sheet/tray and continue until the top and bottom are cooked to a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Serve in wedges or whole on a plate in the middle of the table for breaking and nibbling.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes for the best results, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Grate the potatoes finely, using the large holes of a box grater.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before cooking.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet for cooking the rösti.
- Be patient when cooking the rösti. Do not flip it too often, or it will fall apart.
- Serve the rösti immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or eggs.
Conclusion:
Rösti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious rösti that the whole family will enjoy.
